Give to the School of the Arts

Five Shared Priorities, a Big Goal and a Challenge

The arts are for everyone. They are connective and interactive - they interpret, represent, and question social norms, world history, science, and the humanities. In the broadest scope, the arts are visual communication, often evoking emotions, sometimes forcing one to question their values and views, and other times eliciting simple enjoyment and an escape from reality.

The School of the Arts at KU strives to provide students with opportunities to discover and create. We give students tools for later in life, while challenging them to take risks by expressing themselves publicly in a myriad of ways. Students learn to cross boundaries, to reflect on the world, and are pushed to the limits of their imagination and creativity. The Arts are a visible expression of society and culture, one that transcends global boundaries. They are often a theatre for social change and engagement.
